WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Quaker Maid Meats Inc. on Tuesday
said it would voluntarily recall 94,400 pounds of frozen ground
beef panties that may be contaminated with E. coli.
The beef products were produced by Reading,
Pennsylvania-based Quaker on July 19 and shipped to retail
stores in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The beef products have an establishment code of “Est 2748”
inside the USDA mark of inspection. A Quaker official could not
be reached on the recall.
